Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup whole milk
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ⅛ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 3 Tablespoons salted butter
Instructions
Make the Dutch Baby Batter
- Blend the eggs in blender and for 1 minute on medium-high speed, until they become light yellow.
- Add milk, honey, vanilla, flour and salt and blend for 15-30 seconds, or until the batter is smooth.
- Let the batter rest for 10-15 minutes at room temperature. Or, transfer it to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
Bake the Dutch baby
- Once the batter has rested, Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (218 degrees Celsius) with a 10” round cast iron skillet inside.
- Once the oven and skillet are preheated, remove the skillet and melt the butter in it – tilting and twirling the skillet to spread it around.
- Pour the rested batter into the buttered skillet.
- Then return the skillet with the batter to the oven and bake for 11-13 minutes, or until the edges are dark golden brown, the center is puffed and is lightly golden brown.
Cool & Serve
- Let the dutch baby cool for 5 minutes before serving. It will deflate, this is normal.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings (see suggestions in the notes below).
